I purchased this item for my 3 and 5 year old kids. They love the stories and it has really helped their confidence in sounding out words and recognizing letters. The shows are also entertaining enough so that they do not ask me to change them out.
The DVDs allow you to teach your children there alphabets and number while at the same time making it entertaining to them. I wish we had thought of it earlier. It is a great alternative to children’s cartoons that only teach random things on an episode. These tapes continuously reiterate the lesson that they are trying to teach. If you can get them, it will be a step in the right direction. A must have to kids trying to learn to write, read or add and subtract.
These were one of the best purchases for my daughters. My oldest daughter (2 years old) loves to watch and she now knows every sound every letter makes. I don't know many 2 year olds who know phonics yet. :-) My youngest daughter is 1 and soaking it in. VERY educational and highly recommended!
My daughter is not known for being open to watching anything new. The first time I put in the letter factory, she sat mezmorized through the entire thing and even began copying the sounds.
We took our child to have him evaluated for learning disabilities. The doctor recommended these dvd's. I can see why. They have been helpful and entertaining.
This is a great set of Leapfrog learning videos. I purchased this set after watching it with my 4 year old son at a friends house. It is a great introduction to the alphabet and phonics, and my son, after watching it a few times, is sounding everything out, to figure out what letters are in each word. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has small children, or even as an introduction to english for non-english speakers.
When my daughter was two-years-old she knew her the sound that each letter made because of the catchy song on Leap Frog. All the DVD are so wonderful and everyone I know loves theirs too. I am buying these as a gift.
I highly reccomend these DVD's. They are really a must have item. A friend of mine loaned us some DVD's and the first one my kids watched was "The Letter Factory". I have a 2 1/2 and an almost 4 year old and they both loved this video and wanted to watch it over and over again. After 3 times watching it they were singing the songs all the time..... "The "A" says "Ahhhhh", The "B" says "BBBB"..... Then I ordered the LeapFrog 5 pack and now my 3 year old is spelling words and starting to read. It is really incredible. They are cute DVD's to teach phonics..... My son is always singing "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking"..... then we play games saying "if A and E go walking who does the talking?" And even my two year old will answer "A". To further enhance this DVD set, I also reccomend purchasing the "Leapster" and getting these games to go with it.
The video is not only enjoyable for the kids but adult wouldn't mind watching it again with their child, seeing how much their kids can learn from it is great.
My daughter was born with a syndrome and has significant speech delays after getting the leap frog dvd's her language skills have blossomed rapidly, I love these video's and recomend them to anyone the children.
I have the Letter Factory DVD and I just ordered the other four, because my four year old has just sprouted wings with learning. I think he will be reading in no time flat. He knows the letter sounds already and is starting to sound out words. My neice who has Downs Syndrome has also starting learning the letter sounds and we have tried for years to teach her this and this DVD is working. I care for three other children in my home that also is learning the letters and they are only 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years old. The one year old says letters all day long after watching this video. I would recomend this to all parents and caregivers to help make learning fun and enjoyable.
We bought this set to help our 3 and 4 year old kids their abc's and simple counting. They absolutely adore it and within a week of having it, they were both singing along with the songs and doing their abc's. They both have also started counting everything they play with! If you're looking for something to help your kids learn while having a great time, this is the set for you.
I bought this to start my preschool age child on learning basics. I have four kids ranging 4 to 9 years of age. All four of them enjoy watching these DVDs. It's easier to talk about what we learned in the DVD then just talking about the ABCs or 123s. It has been more fun to watch and talk then just try to teach by myself.
If you have a child struggling at alpha letters and sounds this is for you. I purchased this last month and my daughter, who is 5, completely learned all the letters AND sounds in less than a week. She sings the songs, sounds out the letters, writes the alphabet, upper and lower case, and tells us what punctuation is, while driving her brother crazy. I cant say enough about this since it worked wonders before my eyes. I homeschool and this has made teaching her to read so much easier. Best money ever spent on homeschool material!!!
Excellent DVD set for youngsters heading for 1st grade. Well done video and graphics keeps their attention. Our daughter has progressed amazingly in a short period of time this summer.
This set is incredible. My children really enjoy seeing the DVD's and at the same time they learn so much. My son is 5 and my daughter is 3 and they are both benefiting from it greatly.
